good water source.  The colonists have a good food source in the East Coast from deer, fish, bunnies, etc. That is what I think about the colonists moving to the East Coast!

I think they went to East Coast because they wanted money some went there because of slavery. A lot of people had to work because they NEEDED the money. Also a lot of people went there to start a new religion. People went there for land and resources and they had plenty of fish to feed on. I'm also pretty sure they had berries and water from the river and crops they could grow with dead fish and corn. if the Indians were there I bet they taught them that. They had a lot of food like deer, rabbit, bird, fish ect.

I think colonists settled in the East coast because they either wanted money mostly gold or land the more land they had the more power they had to make settlements.

I think they settled at the East Coast of America so they could come and find materials and resources. Also so they can find gold and become a rich country. Also so they can find and claim new land and so that can become part of their country and expand their land. Also they maybe settled there because of the climate and temperature.

I think they settled there  because the thing said that gold and silver washed up with every tide so they settled on the east coast.But then they did not know that the NAs where living there. Also they went there to claim land as there own.Back then if you had a flag there or if your settleing there it is YOUR land.

I think the colonist chose the east coast because it was easy to trade with the Powhatan tribe for food and they also chose the east coast so they could catch fish to eat with their meals. The colonist also chose it because  they could drink the river water when its not salty. They chose the east coast cause if the Spanish were to attack the colonist could attack the Spanish back.

I think they might have wanted to settle on the east coast of North America because of how it is farther down and since it is farther down to the Equator they might want a warmer place to

I thick that they did it so they could see if any Spanish war ships were coming . 

# data[].attributes.body
they settled to get rich so they could be the wealthiest of the 3,also to find a passage to the orient

# data[].attributes.headline
i think the reason they went there is cause they knew people lived there and wanted the people that lived there first to help and i think they wanted the land they tried to make the natives slaves and the powhatan help them to plant corn \

and a nother reason is that they went there cause it the first land they seen

I think the English chose to settle in the east coast because they thought that would be the best place to find gold, so that things can be easy, make a settlement, and start life. Another reason I think the came down to the east coast of North America so they can take over the land (some of the English settlers thought it was going thing to take it over).

# data[].attributes.body
I think they settled near the east coast because the ships were there and so they could bathe or get water to drink water from the sea and so they could fish for fish to eat and in case they were attacked by the Indians they could fire bombs at them

# data[].attributes.body
i think they went there probably for the good water and for the temperature and use the waterways to travel

# data[].attributes.body
Some of the colonists moved there to worship what they believe in, and some came to strike it rich. They're also trying to find a passage to get to the east part of Asia, but there was no route to get around and so they had to stay around the East Coast.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe they went the east because they wanted the gold they heard about in story's and also because they could live, learn,and trade with the natives. Also because there is a waterway that they could use to travel and collect food and and there was some reason the Spanish came they could leave.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think the colonists meant to go to the east coast of North America on purpose.I think they had gotten blown off course like the pilgrims did.There trip probably was to go to another place like Asia or Japan.I do not think that they wounded up on one place on the East Coast of America out of no where.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the colonists came to the East Coast is because they have a good water source and they can grow crops with the water. I think if they moved to the middle of North America they would have more enemy's because it has more open space to build and things like that. The downside of living on the East Coast is waves coming up and destroying things. Also if they moved to the middle of North America they wouldn't have a good water source. The colonists have a good food source in the East Coast from deer, fish, bunnies, etc. That is what I think about the colonists moving to the East Coast!

I think they might have wanted to settle on the east coast of North America because of how it is farther down and since it is farther down to the Equator they might want a warmer place to live. Another reason is because they would have wanted to become rich on gold. But the downside of them going to the east coast of North America is all of the Native Indians tribes would all not like them invading their land so they would try to kill the English men.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe they chose to settle on the East Coast of North America  because they thought there would be a path to the Orient which would give them spices for their food and make them rich. There also was plenty of fish on the coast for them to eat, which was important for gaining and maintaining energy  to work for, of course, money. For example cash crops.

# data[].attributes.body
Mainly for the money,that was almost all they thought about. Spain had grown rich, and they wanted to over power them. So they tried to make a strong colony. They would fight off the Spain with a strong army. That did not work out too well. The natives wiped ton of them out, and they had to rebuild a strong army. That takes time. They tried to bring in more colonists, but the Mayflower went off course and Plymouth was created.

# data[].attributes.body
I think they went to the East Coast of North America is because it was a good temperature there. Another is there would be fish in the ocean, along with other marine life. They could make money as well, like how they used some crops as cash crops. There were a lot of natural resources, such as crops. That is why I think they went to the East Coast of North America.

# data[].attributes.body
Probably for the money and to have a water source next to them as you know they have fresh water i a river next to them at least that's what the book had said.

Another reason they would be there is because they thought  the area was not being used but later found out that the natives came and attacked them.

They might have thought is was an okay place because they could trade with some of the natives.

It also might be because the soil there was good for planting crops such as tobacco,grain,and had forests near them so they had a good source of wood too.

# data[].attributes.body
Most Likely for money, land, and resources. Also for all of the Marine Life out in the ocean like Caylee said.
Especially for the gold. Maybe even for growing crops and trading. They did not find gold but they found great resources.

# data[].attributes.body
I think they chose to settle on the East Coast of North America so they could find gold and more resources. People said that Gold was in Virginia but people were wrong while they were there they found no gold. Some of the colonists made friends with the tribes. While they were there they found some resources. The Colonists also may have came because of the space and waterways trying to find the faster route to Either Asia Or Europe
